In a conductive conductivity sensor having a probe, which is immersible in a measured medium and which comprises at least two electrodes made of a first, electrically conductive material and at least one probe body made of a second, electrically non-conductive material, the electrodes are at least partially embedded in the probe body and insulated from one another by the probe body, wherein the electrodes and the probe body are embodied as a composite workpiece. There especially exists between the first material and the second material in at least one section of a material transition between the first and the second material a secure bond, especially a bond based on intermolecular interactions or chemical bonds.

Conductive conductivity sensor

An ion-sensitive sensor arrangement includes: a semiconductor chip having a first surface, which has a media-sensitive region and at least one, first, electrical contact surface; and a support having a second surface, which faces the first surface of the semiconductor chip. An opening is provided, which aligns with the sensitive region, and at least one, second, electrical contact surface, which overlaps, or aligns with, the at least one, first, electrical contact surface. Between the support and the semiconductor chip, a preferably elastic, anisotropic conductor is arranged, which produces a conducting connection between the at least one, first, contact surface and the at least one, second, contact surface, and which has a traversing opening, which aligns with the opening, so that the sensitive region of the semiconductor chip can be contacted through the opening by an analyte. The preferably elastic, anisotropic conductor seals the region outside of the opening against contamination with the analyte.
